THE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY EXTRACTS FROM THE MORNING PAPERS. JULIA 18, 1826. [TIM Tom.] We are not surprised, but extremely grieved, at the • t u multuous proceedings h M anchester and other ma nufacturing towns. ".Hunger," says the homely pro verb, will break through stone walls :" and all ac counts, Ministerial as well as Opposition, agree that the unhappy people are driven to these assemblies by absolute want—by starvation ;by starvation not only in their own persons, but in the persons of their wives and offspring. Having said thus much, and having given the evil its appropriate name, we should next consider what is to he clone to alleviate or remove it. —Some of the Journals in the agitated districts re commend the immediate assembling of the new Parliament. We shall not oppose that measure— though we do not see that much good can result from it. Government, indeed, seems to us to have provided for such a crisis as the present, by obtaining for itself the power, at the close of the last Session, of admitting foreign corn, by proclamation, during the dissolution and recess of Parliament. We should, therefore, advise the immediate admission of foreign grain, while navigation is easy, and till the crops of the ensuing harvest arc housed. It may be said that these poor creatures, who are wholly with out employment or money, cannot buy bread at any price. No matter for that ; it can be more easily purchased for them at a low than at a high price ; and the vessels that bring grain will not return with out manufactures. So that the goods on hand will be taken off, and the work of charity will both be easier and of shorter duration. The Bank, it is said, at the instigation of Government, are on the point of establishing more Branch Banks—as at Swansea, Biriningham, and Manchester so that more paper is to be issued ; the circulation is to be increased. The patient cannot bear the cure ; and therefore the physician suffers the disease to re turn upon him. We 'doubt whether even a temporary relief can be effected by this method, because, if the poor creatures themselves cannot buy bread, no more can the greater part of those who should be their employers obtain paper. But in all cases a temporary relief anis effected cannot fail of increasing the future danger. We do not suffer by the present circulation being small (if it bad never been otherwise we should have known no distress), but by a larger circulation, to which we are now going to recur, being called in. With respect to the people thus assembling, we trust that the great body of them will he treated with ten derness and consideration, if, its we have no doubt, they are driven tiom their homes by starvation. But we think that Government ought, beyond all doubt, to possess themselves of the persons of those who think proper to address and urge the poor sufferers to acts of violence ; and if these meta are found to be in no want themselves, . then we would have them pro ceeded against with the utmost rigour of the law. A starving man is entitled to commtseration and relief; but not so they who convert him into a desperado, and instigate him to the destruction of the property and life of his fellow-subjects—mit blameless as h im f;elf of evil under which ho sultera. .1 IV. MO ft NING 'rh, present gate of Spain, of Italy, of (.ireece, and of the South American States, presents 'a melan choly picture of human nature, and may be regarded as the most convincing proof of the vanity of all at tempts to entahlish a system of liberty, when the great body of the people arc unprepared for it ; or when the leading men are more influenced by sordid and selfish motive's than by real patriotism. A few visionaries— men probably animated • by the best intentions, but totally unfit for regeaterating a whole people—raised the standard of revolution in Italy. Their-wild i,iehemes brought foreign arinies, into the country. They hardly made even a show of resistance. The country an over run, awl the people were subjected to a state of 'degra dation and slivery, which ionic them regret even the des potic rule of their Mill sovereigns. Men of a similar de. scription reduced Spain to a condition, if possible, eve) less enviable. Without consultit ig the interestiof the No , bility and Clergy, and without considering how little they might expect from a people ignorant of liberty, and so much under the influence of these two powerful classes, they proceeded in the most violent mummer to pull in . pieces the fabric of the' Constitution, and by their wild and preposterous schemes; excited the fears of a neighbouring state. French armies took posses sion j etthe country, without meeting the least resist mice; the principal fortiesses of the w kingdom are now in the hands of foreigners ; and what with domestic faction:), poverty, misrule, and foreign Sway, Spain is at this moment, perhaps, the most inefficient and de.; graded state. in Europe. The South American States took advint4ge of these einiimotions, and succeeded, after .a long strOggle, in shaking off the yoke of the mother country. Difierent republies were formed, peace raid order were comparetively restored, loans were c ontracted, and many believed that' these states would soon rival North America in energy and resources. No hopes could be more fallacious. Many of the inhabit ants of the United StateS had emigrated from England to escape whet they considered tyrannical government, intim had inibibed. from their ancestors the'most vio lent antipathy to line larehy, they all had sine notion of the Principles of real liberty, and with the courage, and energy, and perseverance of their ancestors, resolved to he free and independent. The virtues and - abilities of one nu m, too, prevented all intestine factions, and united the different States under one powerful and rational system of government. The good . sense of the people second4lire endeavonrs, and the recollec tion of his unsullied patriotism and disinterested con het 'Will lung continue to animate them in defence of his prineiplw4. No contrast hardly can be greater than that between the North and the South American States. The latter retain, all the indolence, the bigotry, and ignoranee of their ancestors. They have:but an impeded notion of liberty. • 'limy have not energy to commence any great plans of national improve ment, or industry to carry them into effect ; and what perhaps; is their great misfortune, they have no great leader who can check 'domestae factions,. or impress on the different States the necessity o f f or ming o ne great bond ofßolivar , Pe i rkar , resembles Washington more than any other eut er ; but his influenee is chiefly. at this moment in a state confined to one province ,— i s and even that, it appenNi . • civil of insiorsetion.

A)) neurree titan had broken out at Cement, and the troops sent to te 1. In insurgents- have been totally tlefeu--A he deed, in almost every province, party spirit, arit . l t ambition of unprincipled chiefs, are paving the way to ruin or slavery. Flow these commotions will subside, or how the interest of the debts contracted by these semi-barbarians will be paid, it is impossible to fore see. The situation of affairs in Greece is even still more distressing. The people, by great bravery and perseverance, succeeded in wresting a part of the country from the dominion of the Turks. The chiefs, like those of the South American States, quarrelled among themselves, and thereby en courag►ed the Egyptians to invade the Mores. They secreted to their own use part of the money sent out for the supply of the army and navy. The troops, it would appear, are totally dispersed, or reduced to such a state of weakness that they cannot, with any hopes of success, meet the enemy. The officers and crews of some of the vessels of war, without money, or any means of subsistence, are cruizing as pirates in the Archipelago, and attacking without discrimination, the vessels of hostile and friendly States. Their only hope now is in foreign aid. These are sad pittnres of the fate of those nations who have, in our days, raised the standard of liberty, and it is distressing to think that scarcely any thing short of a miracle can soon produce a favourable change. [THE NEW TIMES.] It is with the deepest feelings of regret, dist we, have this day to record very serious appearances of riot and disaffection in Manchester and its neighbour hood. We are well aware of the difficulty of arguing with 'persons in the condition in which these poor de luded men arc. Yet, even in the most unhappy cir cumstances, it cannot be idle or useless, to exhort them not to aggravate their sufferings unnecessarily, by their own violence. If by tumulttiary assemblages, and seditious harangues, the back were to be clothed or the belly to be filled, they who &honed from such proeeedings would stand but small chance of obtain ing a favourable audience ; but we surely may expect to be heard . when we advise our brethren not to mistake poison for medicine—not to do what must issue in evil to themselves, and which cannot possibly issue in good to any one. Moral force let them employ— it is just, they should. . Let their hardships—their la bours—their deprivations, speak to the governors of the land. They speak a language which cannot be misunderstood, and which assuredly Will not be di's , regarded. But, let them not be seduced by representa tions, however plauaible, to attempt even the exhibition of physical force. Who is to go to the wall in a struggle between the discontented and the 4uthorities of the land ? Does it enter into the conceptions of the most foolish, that there is room for doubt or hesi tation in answering that question ? The attempt to resist, the force with which the Government , of - this country is armed, by such means as a band of rioters, however numerous, can conimand, is as hopeless as to oppose Leviathan with a reed. Such attempts are, however, by no means inconsequential ; they tend powerfully to break asunder those bonds of union that bind the goVerned to the 'governors ; and need we say, that in . all . settled societies, such disrup tions operate more fatally on the liberties of the former than on the prerogative of the litter ? We ' trust, however, that amidst all the incite ments of evil counsel, and goading poverty, the weavers wilt not be induced to any act of open vio lence,. Let them recollect, that partial relief, at least, is at hand. The harvest, which will, ,from the peen- I limit)/ of the season, afford employment to a lariAti number of workmen, for three or four weeW3, to already white in our fields. Ere this source is dried up, another may be opened. Their case will, in the mean time, be considered, and if men may do it, it will he relieVed. We hear continually repeated, tepee' the Corn Laws—lower the Taxes—and, not unfrequently, lower the interest of the public debt.— The last of these proposals implies, in the very discus sion of it, such confused notions of right and wrong, that we are almost ashamed to enter on it. We need not notice the obvious reply to the argument derived froth the alteration in the currency, that during the.depreciation the dividends were paid in the same currency in which the purchases were made; we should be inclined to reprobate all such attempts at wholesale spoliation on more general and more obvi ous grounds. We say, and we challenge contradic tion from any man of common sense, .that if the per. sons who advanced loins to Government during. the war Made ever to advantageous bargains, they are no more called on, to renounce these advantages, which they fairly'and'.openly earned, than the merchant who makes an advantageous purchase of goods is 'called on to make over the profits derived froth a Ilse of Markets to the seller of them. We put the argil ! . ment purposely in its !;trongest form ; it is a matter of notoriety, that the present stock-holders have had none of those, profits which a certain class of politicians are so anxious to .. confiscate. If we are ' not bound to pay the public debt, neither are we bound to pay private debt.' The Same laws which guarantee the one guarantee• the other. To clamour against the fitndliolders we consider to . 'be as cowardly as unjust. They are the objects of attack merely because their supposed weakness lays them more open thari others, and the, robbery of them is justified because it is supposed to be a matter of pos sible accomplishment . 'With regard' to' the corn laws it is universally allowed that they must 'undergo revi sion. Their operation, so far as it is injurious, is virtually suspended by the Act, empowering importa tion when his Majesty's Ministers see occasion,. and, therefore, it is unnecessary to say a word on that sob,- ject. On the propriety of reducing taxes, we may well cry out, if any one has a right to do so, for we know of no manufacturer in the community. Ythose goods are so highly taxed as our own. There is just one consideration that seals our mouths to complaint on this subject. We are honestly and thoroughly con vinced that his Majesty's Ministers are quite as anxious to reduce taxation as ourselves, and we have some obscure notions, derived from a pretty , close study of what they have already done; that they know rather better than we do where and when to begin. --------- PRIVILEGES OF RUSSIAN DRAMATIC Au- Tuorts.--The directors of the Imperial, heatre at Petersburgh leave published a series of regulations which fix the rights of authors in the following manner : 1.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSIONsHOUSE.—An Irish woman, named Mary She kels, was some days age charged by Ambrose Osborne, a private mpany's service, with having stolen four teenvedsr:ignlVia C4' and some dr US poCket; as he .lay l'i aslee th r e "in E the tap-room of the Hercules public-house, iu Leaden hall-street. The prosecutor stated, that as he was drinking in the public house, the prisoner entered with a- basket of oranges, and' asked hiM to be a customer. He purchased a couple of oranges from her, and asked her to take a glass of something, and sit down. She consented,' and drank a glass of gin and peppermint, and ho paid her for the oranges, for the purpose of doing which he took ont of his pocket apiece of rag, in which he had seventeen sovereigns and some silver. He returned the sovereigns to his pocket, and soon afterwards fell asleep. When he awoke, the pri soner was gone ; and upon Searching his pocket, he ascertained that he had no more than three sovereign* and a small quantity of silver about him. ' The owner of the hotise stated, that when the prisoner entered the tap-roem, and sat down, he objected to her taking such a li berty,,and ordered her to leave the room, as, she bad sold her oringei. The proyecutor, however, told him, that the woman was a friend of his, and that if she was not allowed to sit down he would quit the house himself. The witness effete(' no further objection, and the prisoner remained in the room utile time. The witness was afterwards employed in putting an end to a disturb ance in the front of his house, and the prisoner somehow or other got involved in it, the prosecutor being, he belieVed, fast asleep in the tap-room. When the prosecutor awoke, and found that he was short of his cash, he raised 'en outcry. The prisoner was taken off to the watch-house and searched, and 11 sovereigns and some silver were found upon her 'person, tied up in an old rag. . The prosecutor said he had never seen the prisoner before the day of the robbery, and as she sat next to him, and there was no other person near him, he was. Convinced she was the thief. The other evidence was confirmatory of the account given by those two witnesses, and the Loan MAYOR called upon. Mary Shehan fin her defence. - • The prisoner said, in a broad Irish accent, that she never was a thief in all her born days, and that she'd scent to steal front any body while she had strength to earn it. " God knows," said she, " I don't know Any thing about the young man, for 1 never seen him before with my eyes. I'm sure I never wronged any poor crature of a farthing." The Loan MAYOR:—Where did you get all these sovereigns? Was it by selling oranges ? The, prisoner said, she gathered the bit of money together by hard-Working—God knows she did. She never thought of such a thing as thieVing, and she knew that what is got in that way never did any one any good. The , Loan MAYOR asked her at what kind of work it was that she earned so much money ? She replied that she sometimes worked hard in the brickfields, and that she spent hut little upon herself, as she was resolved to put by as Much as she could for a rainy day. "I am well known, your Lordship," said she, "to be a poor bard-working young woman; and God knows I ant not a rogue." The Loan Mayor, desired that the prisoner should be ress madded, and that any more evidence that was to be had shoold be brought forward upon the next examination. His Lord ship observed, that the case was , a very strong one, but he felt a great repugnance to commit, strong at it was, until his mind should be more completely satiefied. The mieehief arising from premature committals was often dreadful, and he should not be guilty of the cruelty of sending unfortunate persons to trial upon mere speculative grounds. The prisoner, who repeated her protestations of innocence, and hoped: she would not he deprived of her hard earnings, was then taken from the bar and lodged in the COmpter. ,Upon being brought up a second time, more witnesses were pro duced against her, and' the same ciremnstances that were men tioned upon the first examination were again detailed. The LORD MAYOR--Did the young woman attempt to! escape ? Did she betray any fear of detection when she was ap prehended. The reply to these questions was in the negative. She had, however, made a desperate noise and outcry, it was said, upon being , accused of the robbery, and deprived of the sovereigns,which she insisted were her own. was distinctly stated by some witnesses that the prosecutor had a number of onyeritigne in his possession when he en ter ed the ' house, and that the ptisoner wait sitting: 1101“ to *him when he fell asleep. In fact, upon this csaminaticni, the impression against the prisoner seemed to have acquired additional strength. The Loeo Mayon, however, still thought that there was such evidence of in tegrity in the prisoner's conduct before him that he could not overcome his reluctance to conunit her: Has any one, said his Lordship, any thing to allege against the general conduct of the prisoner? Do any of the officers know her to'he a bad or a suspi cious character?--The officers looked ut her, and said they had frequently seen her about the streets, but they had never heard any charge against her. The landlord said she had been in the habit of attending his house with oranges, but be had never heard her complained of before. The Lotto Ma votts.--Let her he remanded till Monday. 'Yesterday the prisoner was a third titne brought up. The cominitment was regularly made out, and the orders to each of the witnesses to give evidence were elicit written. The prose color, who appeared anxious to get hack his property, was inform ed by the clerk that he would certainly receive it upon the con viction of the woman ; when The Loan MAYOR asked whether there was any further evi dence, remarking at the same time, that he had been led to delay the committal of the prisoner front Some circumstances which struck hint as remarkable in the case. Mr. Parker, a respectable hooker in the neighbourhood of Somers'-town, begged to he allowed .to say a few words. He had heard with surprise that Mary Shehan had been taken up for . robbery, and lie was convinced that she was as innocent of the crime as any one in the justice-room. He could not, as he was not present at the public linnets say any thing about what had occurred there, but he had heard the eVidence s , and his opinion of the young woman s integrity remained unshaken. The Loan MAYOLL, who had jiist made up his mind to send the case to a jury, lietened with some degree of suspicion, at he after ward. aeknowledged, to the statement. Mr. Parker said that 'be had 'Tor 'Mute tithe been in the habit of. dealing with the prisoner, She came to his house about a fortnight before the transaction of which she was ac cused took place, and had thin in her possession 10 or 12 so vereigns in a rag. , He purchased oranges from her, and upon one occasion site borrowed a shilling from him, as she had no clump, and did not wish to change a sovereign, and she was most punctual on calling next day to nay the debt. He always knew her to be a most honest, kind-hearted, and industrious young woman. Another gentleman, who had seen her at Mr. Parker's house and elsewhere, elSo stated that she was possemeed of money, and that he had seen 'a number of sovereigns in her possession. He never heard a breath against her honesty, and he believed she would not,Svrong a lumina being of a farthing. Mr. Gray, a biker, in Gray'e-inn-hme, deposed that he knew the prisoner some time, and that she was one of the most extraorditutry young women he ever saw in his life. She would live upon little or nothing, and used to put up every halfpenny she made. His wife employed her occasionally to do work about the house; had the highest opinion of her integrity, and used to give her broken breed and meat. The young woman upon such occasions never spent a farthing, and had acquired such a. character for making money, that the people used to say it was a shame, to employ her. Much more evidence to the some effect was given, and The Loan Mivois immedi a t e ly d e sired that the money should he given back to the priioner, Re never, he said felt mor e pleasurethat ti the should be discharged. infindinghisfi im pression of the poor girl's i nnocenc e so fully established. The conclusion of the cue, which was listened' to with became , at , tention throughout, gave the gre a test satisfaction to every one in the justice-room, not smeari ng the soldier, who went away con vinced that the money which he had expected to receive had never been his own. g ow s hpri : e i: te l3 t ar , a"lyileTgE ti o ß t Sd ,wil '4 : ; . s i t I :I:i t , r ns il i tt j ,u g o idYter tar,Saturday n u in gh gl t t: s i b t v ,,, e i v f l e r e h ; tai.lslifle;puna Jast ack eleven R obin_ ocl o g Smith, Witte at hlt an,'whilelinheMagtirtee'lhree.: Lion of his duty.

The husband repeated that he was .guiltlesis of uttering such Words, but was ready to admit, he felt very, little on the occa sion, as the hanging was merely the repetition. of a farce she had often performed-in, having been addicted to such - experiments from her childhood. Mr. Alderman Small, with much indignation—" You have said quite sufficient to convince me that you are unworthy of further attention:—.4 heartless and worthless man :if you do not instantly quit the room, I shall order you to be turned out."

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. POSTSUPUTIE, SATU !JAY, JULY 15.—0 n Thursday his Ma jesty's frigate Galatea, Sir Charles Sullivan, Bart., arrived from I. Guayru, Carthagena, Chagres, and . Havannah:-.-2.3 days from the last-mentioned place, bringing despatches from his Excellency Alexander Cockburn, Esq., his Majesty's AinbasSadOr in the Co lombian States, and 'from Henry Dawkins, Esq., his Majesty's Consul-General in the Guatimala State, with which Sir Charles „ . Sullivan proceeded to London. The accounts we have received present a very discouraging state of those countries. The com mon enemy having been expelled, discord, intestine division, and even open rebellion to the constituted authorities, have arisen in Colombia. Messengers had been despatched to hasten the return of Bolivar, the praident, front Peru, from whose personal pre sence and firmness much good was expected. Commerce, as the natural consequence, was in a very languid state; indeed, until the natives can be induced to shake off their natural apathy and indolence, they will be satisfied, in a great degree, with the abun dant natural products of their own country; and their artificial wants, which the industry of this country can supply, will be few. The eccountx from the mines are also discouraging. The pearl fishery vessel, at Ptsinta, lately lost her diving-bell, in which 'three men were at work. The Galatea brought 70,000 dollars for British merchants. The Ambassador to Colombia, alto was landed at Curtbagena in bad health, intended to leave the country ageiti shortly, in thellingdove, 18, Capt. 1110., for England.• We have received letters from Halifax dated, the 19th of June, which state the pertectly tranquil state of affairs within the limits of our army and navy commanding there, with the good health of the troops and crews of the ships of war.
